Place of Assembly with Multiple Spaces

Q: I have a Place of Assembly with multiple spaces that are open to one another or are separated by non-fire rated construction. How do I define the limits of my Place of Assembly, and the Total Number of Occupants?

A: When Place of Assembly Spaces are open to one another or are separated by non-fire rated construction, the spaces should be considered all one Place of Assembly. One PA Application should be filed, and the aggregate total of Occupants for all spaces will be the Maximum Number of Persons for the Place of Assembly. A Reconsideration may be required for this condition.
